It tasted like a Frenchified version of a Twinkie, and I remember thinking "THAT'S what Hostess was trying to emulate!" Too bad that they turned something French and real into something mass-produced and crap.<br /><br />That said, I ate a lot of Twinkies in my school lunches when I was a kid. That was back in the day when sugary breakfast cereals were considered a good way to start the day. Also, too, in Canada Twinkies, Wonder Bread etc. will continue to be baked because a long-established company named Saputo owns the production rights. And Saputo apparently believes in making money by making actual products that people buy, instead of earning profits by financial gamesmanship. I'd bet money that its workers are unionized, too, because it's based in a country where, Stephen Harper aside, the concept that workers should be treated decently is not a foreign concept like it is in the U.S.<br /><br />Good luck, Anne.
